BASE Engineering Releases New Long-Range Chipset to Improve Communications in Challenging Industrial Operating Environments

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Jan. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- BASE Engineering, Inc., part of OPW's Fluid Transfer Solutions business unit and Dover (NYSE: DOV), today announced the launch of its new Long-Range Chipset. This new wireless chipset option has been designed to increase range, reliability and installation flexibility beginning with the BASE Engineering portfolio of Ranger and ProControl handheld communication devices.

The Long-Range Chipset features the capability to exceed 1,000 feet (305 meters) of range for installations with external antennas. One of the key benefits of the Long-Range Chipset is the increased reliability of communication in worksite environments where propane and refined fueling equipment, construction equipment, cement and vacuum trucks, cranes, cargo ships, and manufacturing facilities are present. Additionally, in many applications, the use of external antennas is not required resulting in a cleaner, faster installation.

"The Long-Range Chipset represents a continued commitment to our existing and future BASE Engineering ecosystem," said Toby Bourque, Vice President of BASE Engineering. "Working with our partners and end-users, we've designed this new chipset to not only deliver a stronger communication range but also provide a more reliable connection in challenging industrial operating environments. Our Long-Range Chipset also offers expanded flexibility and simplicity during installation while removing the external-antenna requirement in many installations, which is something our partners and customers have been requesting."
